The birth of The Messiah was the most extravagant gift ever given. We can never match it's greatness, but we can express our gratitude and magnify The Lord.
The celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday is just beginning. We need to continue the spirit of thanksgiving all the way through the holiday season. And really year round.
As Christians, though, we're not only supposed to be thankful when things are going our way. It's not just the good things that God calls us to be thankful for. We're to be thankful for everything.
